J Crew - Jules dress in scroll print

J Crew's Jules dress in scroll print (38169, $198) sold out online pretty quickly at full price. I have seen it since it sold out, so you can always do a WIFFY if you want to buy. Yes, the technical acronym is WWFIFY -> we will find it for you. but I like WIFFY which is what I once heard a SA say to another. Online purchasers have 60 days to return so there may be popbacks in the future.

The print is beautiful. I wasn't a fan of the gold/yellow color, though. It doesn't compliment the beige/nude color either, imo. The dress had static cling. I've read online to drag a wire hanger and that should reduce the static, but haven't tried it myself. It's nice that the dress seems to have a bit more material, but I still don't think they've perfected this Jules silhouette they're pushing.

Tonite's the last chance for GET40 to save 40% off final sale items. No last minute orders for me. I think I snagged just about everything I was after.

I saw this dress at the store (still plenty at Roosevelt field mall, ny) and did not care for the material or the colors. The material felt cheap and flimsy while the colors didn't flatter my skin tone. Though on you, Gigi, I think it looks rather great!

Funny how the colors are brightened and sharpened in the online pics. Meh. I do think the girl wearing this dress in your blog banner photo looks like J. Lo. :-) I think you can do better with a silk print Hale Bob dress on sale...

This dress seemed so promising in the pictures released from jcrew, but it seems like everyone has a problem with it. I'm going to attempt to find it in my store tomorrow, and hope that it just *might* flatter me (though I have never been able to pull off yellow..)

I've been lusting after this dress ever since I saw it in the catalogue, but I live in Canada and it's not available in-store. Could you tell me if the yellow is really as bright as it is in most of your photos, or darker, like in the close-up of the back keyhole?
